Gaylord GX2-BDL-BB Specifications

MODEL “GX2-BDL-BB”

NON WATER-WASH VENTILATOR

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

Furnish Gaylord Ventilator Model “GX2-BDL-BB-____________” as shown
on plans and in accordance with the following specifications:

GENERAL: Ventilator shall incorporate two extraction chambers mounted
back-to-back each with an air inlet opening above and parallel to the cooking
surface. Each extraction chamber shall contain one or more removable
“extractor inserts” with a grease extraction efficiency of 90% when operated
at design specifications. Extractor inserts shall be constructed of stainless
steel and contain full-length, self-draining baffles. Extractors shall be easily
removable, for periodic cleaning, from the floor area immediately in front of
the equipment by utilizing an extractor removal tool. The grease collecting
gutter at the bottom of the extractor housing shall slope to a drain at one end
of the ventilator to a removable stainless steel grease cup. The sloped gutter
shall be concealed by an apron which extends the full length of the hood.
Continuous brackets shall be provided to facilitate hanging from the overhead
structure. ❏ (Optional)The ventilator shall include “Custom Air” baffles to
reduce the exhaust volume over specific cooking equipment as indicated on
the plans (add suffix “CA” to model number). The ventilator shall operate at
air quantities and static pressure as indicated on plans.
❏ Ventilator with a Fire Damper (standard equipment) - The ventilator
shall be equipped with a full length fire damper located in the ventilator
extractor plenum between the extractor inserts and the ventilator duct collar.
❏ Thermostatically Operated Fire Damper (standard) - The damper shall
be controlled by an electrically driven actuator, specifically listed for such use
and shall be activated by fail safe thermostat(s) located at the duct collar.
Upon activation, the exhaust and supply fan shall shut off and the damper
shall close, in the direction of air flow, sealing against the front of the plenum
and act as a fire barrier to prevent flame from entering the plenum and duct
system. The damper shall also close each time the exhaust fan is turned
off, to prevent conditioned air from escaping the occupied space via thermal
drafts, and then re-open when the exhaust fan is started. Fire dampers
located at the exhaust duct collar are not acceptable. The ventilator shall be
UL listed under the category “Exhaust Hood with Exhaust Damper”. Access
doors to reach duct fire protection nozzles shall not be permitted.

❏ Fuse Link Activated Fire Damper (optional) - (Series Prefix “GX2­FLD”) The damper shall be spring loaded and activated by fuse link(s)

located at the duct collar. Upon activation, the exhaust and supply fan shall
shut off and the damper shall close, in the direction of air flow, sealing against
the front of the plenum and act as a fire barrier to prevent flame from entering
the plenum and duct system. The damper shall be manually reset without
the use of tools and without opening or removing access panels. Dampers
located at the exhaust duct collar are not acceptable. The ventilator shall be
UL Listed under the category “Exhaust Hood with Exhaust Damper”.

❏ ❏

❏ Ventilator without Fire Damper (optional) - (series prefix “GX2-ND”)

❏ ❏

The ventilator shall be UL listed under the category “Exhaust Hood without
Exhaust Damper”.

CONSTRUCTION: The ventilator shall be of all stainless steel construction,
not less than 18 gauge, type 304. All exposed surfaces shall be a number
4 finish. The use of aluminized steel, galvanized steel, or 430 stainless steel
is not acceptable in any part of the ventilator.

ELECTRICAL: The ventilator shall be factory pre-wired to a single connec­tion point. Ventilators built in multiple sections shall be furnished with coiled
flex conduit for interconnecting sections by applicable trades.

LIGHT FIXTURES: The ventilator shall be equipped with ❏ 100 watt surface
mounted incandescent, ❏ 150 watt recessed incandescent, ❏ recessed
fluorescent, light fixtures. Light fixtures shall be factory pre-wired to a single
connection point. Ventilators built in multiple sections shall be furnished with
coiled flex conduit for interconnecting sections.

ACCEPTANCE & APPROVALS: The ventilator shall be UL and NSF listed.
The ventilator shall comply with all requirements of NFPA-96, IMC, UMC,
BOCA and SBCCI model codes.

APPLICATION

Used for typical island style cooking arrangements where medium,
heavy, or extra heavy-duty equipment is used on both sides or when
the distance between the equipment exceeds 30" regardless of the
type of equipment. Refer to the Master Engineering Data Sheet in the
Gaylord catalog for determining medium, heavy, and extra heavy-duty
equipment.

FEATURES

• Fire Damper Within Ventilator Plenum

• All Type 304 Stainless Steel

• 90% Grease Extraction Efficiency

• CUL and NSF Listed

• Complies With The IMC, UMC, BOCA and
SBCCI Mechanical Codes

• Fail Safe Damper Control Switch

DESCRIPTION

The Gaylord Model “GX2” Series Ventilator has been tested to UL
Standard 710 and is UL Listed under the category “Exhaust Hood with
Exhaust Damper”. The ventilator extracts up to 90% of the grease by
centrifugal force when operated and maintained in accordance with
design specifications. Centrifugal grease extraction is accomplished
by unique, removable stainless steel “extractor inserts” that incorpo­rate a series of horizontal baffles. At the end of the cooking day or at
periodic intervals, the inserts are removed and can be washed either
in a dishwasher or soaked and rinsed off. An extractor removal tool
is available which makes removal of the extractors extremely easy.
The extractor inserts come in two sizes: 15½" (5¼ lbs.) and 19½" (6¾
lbs.) The GX2 series is equipped with a thermostatically activated, or
optional fuse link activated, internally mounted fire damper. The
ventilator is also available without a fire damper, identified by the prefix
“GX2-ND”. The “GX2” series can be totally integrated with the “CG3”
water-wash series.
